With the warm message from the millionaire rapper still resonating, Francis Ngannou found himself on the receiving end of yet another communication; this time from fellow PFL member Jake Paul. However, this wasn’t just a casual message. It came across as more of an offer, one that involved the UFC in an unexpected twist.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer signed a multi-year deal with the PFL earlier this year, actively associating himself with the promotion. Now, with Ngannou’s arrival, he wasted no time in extending an intriguing proposition. The 26-year-old suggested a monumental event that would bring together both the PFL and the UFC.
Paul wrote, “Or let’s have PFL and UFC work together and put on a massive event on ESPN…”
To everyone’s surprise, Ngannou’s response showed that he wasn’t closing the doors entirely on such possibilities.
